Hulk wins the proof was given along time ago.
When did this happen?
It's amazing how fan-boys continue to argue with the proof before there eyes.
I suppose this could be argued a number of different ways. Stan Lee was on AMC's Comic Book Men some time ago, and the cast asked him, "Who is stronger, Hulk or Thor?". Stan's response? "When two popular characters like that face off against one another, you have to somehow make it end in a draw." This tells me, 1) Stan is smart enough not to piss off fans of either character, so, at least while he was there, he did the politically correct thing. 2) I know Stan thought Thor was more powerful, but I don't know that he has ever responded regarding their strength. An early issue of Thor (4 maybe?), in the fan mail, a writer asked, "Who is the most powerful hero at Marvel?". He responded without hesitation that it was Thor. 3) Sadly, Stan is no longer with Marvel in an administrative capacity and it would appear Marvel has taken the stance that Hulk is stronger than Thor, but Thor is more powerful. 4) Having said all that, I think it is up to comic book fans to try and read between all the lines with their favorite characters, some of them having 40 plus years of continuity and try figure out what the character is really capable of. That may not always be apparent, but with research and impartiality, it can be done.
My take, is that Hulk is slightly stronger. However, Thor is the more skilled H2H combatant. Additionally, when these two square off, Thor rarely cuts loose and uses all powers at his disposal. If he did, I don't see how Hulk wins. Without Mjolnir, you have a character whose durability is at least as good as Hulk's, and nearly as strong who can fight better. With Mjolnir, he has anti-force, god-blast, weather control along with lightning strikes, hurricane force winds, etc....I think Thor takes this one.
